“ Better bar than most bourbon street places. Great juke box to chose your music friendly bartender service. No pictures allowed so you need to check this out on your own. ”
“ We go to New Orleans once a year and always have to drop into this dive. I love the decor and the vibe to go chill and have a drink. If you haven't been it's a great totally NOLA place to visit. ”
“ Came here on a Sunday evening when it was dead so can't say I was able to get the full experience that the Dungeon may have to offer, but had an overall good time - mostly because the people around were friendly. Everything about this spot is narrow so if you're not into dark, crammed places, why are you here? They don't have a menu so it's kind of up to you to know what you want. I don't drink so I asked the bartender to concoct a mocktail for me - she made a combo of orange and pineapple juice. My friend got a glass of Rumple Minze mixed with Sprite. Together I think our bill came out to be $12 which is not expensive at all compared to the New York prices we're so used to. Apparently there's an upstairs but it was closed as they didn't have enough traffic to open the extra area. ”
“ Unique hidden dive bar, with a jukebox that only requires $1 per song. It's a very small, narrow and dark bar. No pictures/ recordings allowed, which we found strange. Restrooms are a joke- don't expect much. The upstairs bar area was closed. The bartender seemed cool but then she screamed at a guy that was either attempting to take a picture or recording at the bar. I get it, pictures are not allowed but she was very rude and said a derogatory name to the customer. ”
“ For what this place is, it does it pretty damn perfectly. I mean, if you like hard rock and metal and dim lighting and skulls, this is your jam. This was one of the last stops of the evening, so I was feeling pretty dang good and got into the metal jams more than I normally would have. Like, YES. The ceiling is so low that someone warned me I was about to hit my head as I was jumping around. Wheeeeee. They don't serve food and the booze selection is limited. It's not about good selection - it's about skulls and red lighting and ROCK AND ROLL. Service will probably laugh at you if you request some fancy drink here. Just guessing. Will stop here again for sure. ”
“ We did not eat here, but we drank and danced and laughed and had the best time ever! If you love loud metal music in a dark, dungeon-like atmosphere, then this is for you! Our bartender was super fun and friendly! Great service! No photography allowed inside! ”
“ I went "back in the day" when the Dungeon did not open until midnight. I think their hours were midnight to 8 AM. Typical of NOLA, drinks were pricey and once upstairs, you were elbow to elbow - it was tiny and always packed! You could not fit a stage in the upstairs area, and I know there was not live music. I enjoyed the super-divey atmosphere and the punk rock vibe of the era at the Dungeon. It was dark, crowded and it was difficult to see the kitschy items displayed in nooks in the walls. I was really happy to visit the Dungeon, even though we did not make an entire night of it. ”
